A described example system may include a connection engine, a capture engine, and a command engine. In that example, the connection engine wirelessly connects to an imaging device having a media location for placing media; the capture engine captures an image of media at the media location; and the command engine coordinates movement of the media in response to a capture operation or in preparation to perform the capture operation. In another example, an imaging device includes a media tray, a pick, a processor resource, and a memory resource having executable instructions that cause coordination of the pick to, in response to an indication that a sheet of media is captured from a capture device, generate movement of the sheet of media away from the media tray or movement the sheet of media on to the media tray.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A device comprising: a processor; and a memory storing a set of instructions executable by the processor to cause the device to: receive from an imaging device an indication that a media sheet is available at a media location of the imaging device for capture; capture an image of the media sheet at the media location of the imaging device in response to receipt of the indication that the media sheet is available; and instruct the imaging device to coordinate a movement of the media sheet in response to a completion of the capture of the image.
2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the set of instructions is executable by the processor to cause the device to: enable the capture operation in response to a first indication from the imaging device that the media sheet is sensed at the media location of the imaging device; and disable the capture operation in response to a second indication from the imaging device that the media sheet is not sensed at the media location.
3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the set of instructions is executable by the processor to cause the device to: send a command to the imaging device in response to a determination of whether to disable an imaging device feature based on a state of a capture session.
4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the set of instructions is executable by the processor to cause the device to: perform capture cycles until an indication is received from the imaging device that there is no media sheet at the media location, a capture cycle including: a capture operation of capturing an image of a media sheet; and a movement operation of moving the media sheet away from a capture zone of the media location and moving another media sheet towards the capture zone.
5. The device of claim 1 , further comprising: a camera to be kept stationary while the image of the media sheet is captured, wherein: the media sheet is stationary while the image is captured; and the image is processed based on a perspective determination of the camera relative to a capture zone plane.
6. A non-transitory computer-readable memory resource storing a set of instructions executable by a processor resource of a mobile device to cause the mobile device to coordinate media capture and media movement with an imaging device, wherein the set of instructions is to cause the mobile device to: receive from the imaging device an indication that a media sheet is available on the imaging device for capture; capture an image of the media sheet on the imaging device in response to receipt of the indication that the media sheet is available; and send an instruction to the imaging device to move the media sheet in response to a completion of the capture of the image.
7. The non-transitory computer-readable memory resource of claim 6 , wherein the set of instructions is executable by the processor resource to cause the mobile device to: perform a pairing operation with the imaging device; and receive an indication that the media sheet is located on a tray of the imaging device.
8. The non-transitory computer-readable memory resource of claim 6 , wherein the set of instructions is executable by the processor resource to cause the mobile device to: send a capture state to the imaging device after the capture of the image while the media sheet still exists on a tray of the imaging device; and wherein the capture of the image happens in response to an indication that the media sheet has passed out of line of sight of a camera of the mobile device.
9. The non-transitory computer-readable memory resource of claim 6 , wherein the set of instructions is executable by the processor resource to cause the mobile device to: initiate a capture session based on a load mechanism at the imaging device being activated; continue capture cycles until the load mechanism is deactivated; and provide an indication that the capture session is complete in response to the deactivation of the load mechanism.
10. The non-transitory computer-readable memory resource of claim 6 , wherein the set of instructions is executable by the processor resource to cause the mobile device to: modify the captured image using an image processing technique; and provide a preview of a completed capture job including the captured image.
11. A method for a mobile device to coordinate media capture and media movement with an imaging device, comprising: waiting, by the mobile device, to receive an indication from an imaging device indicating that a media sheet is available on the imaging device for capture; capturing, by a camera of the mobile device, an image of the media sheet on the imaging device in response to receipt of the indication that the media sheet is available; and sending, by a processor of the mobile device, an instruction to the imaging device to move the media sheet in response to a completion of the capture of the image.
12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising: prior to receiving the indication that the media sheet is available at the imaging device, performing, by the processor of the mobile device, a pairing operation with the imaging device.
13. The method of claim 11 , further comprising: sending a capture state to the imaging device after the capture of the image while the media sheet still exists on a tray of the imaging device.
14. The method of claim 11 , comprising: initiating, by the processor of the mobile device, a capture session based on a load mechanism at the imaging device being activated; continuing, by the processor, capture cycles until the load mechanism at the imaging device is deactivated; and providing, by the processor, an indication that the capture session is complete in response to the deactivation of the load mechanism.
15. The method of claim 11 , further comprising: modifying the captured image using an image processing technique, and providing a preview of a completed capture job including the captured image.
